Name some of the top logo design agencies
Logos were never thought to be this much important in the world until the digital mediums took over the field of business and marketing. Logos were only thought to bring the graphical representation of things in the business before they became the identity of the business and were started to be used in the course of making a business to be recognized. This from being just a fancy thing in marketing became the essential tool of marketing. I am getting into the business and have to contemplate upon making the considerations on getting a logo for the purposes of recognition and identity of my business. Moreover, the logo will be used everywhere in the marketing and brand objectives and campaign which is why I want to make the contemplations on getting a professional and eye-catching logo. This is the reason that I am looking for some top logo design agencies that can make an amazing logo for my business and that too in the cheap and affordable rates. Is there anyone who has got any ideas about any such agencies that can help me out here? Please suggest the names that are based on your experience.

Hey so BobCam - anyone able to add further feedback? Thumbs up or south???
Hi I am in New Zealand. We have here a very weak dollar. This coupled with me being DIY, I have a VERY low budget hahaha. But I am happy with my home 3 axis router and my little 2 axis lathe.
I have been looking around at CAD programs. Currently using Punch 2D3D v9 and Cambam. They are ok for me? But, do not cut all the mustard.
Looking around I found a forum someone recommended BobCam. And they do a hobbyist price. A good price, but still a large investment for me. This is one of those posts where I am hoping to hear good things about the latest versions of BobCam Router and Lathe.
I would also like to hear the bad? And this in mind with the thought of what I am using now?
I freaked out a little when I saw a whole site called "BobCadSucks.com" - written in 2013 but hey, the guy was angry. Although I doubt I would even get close to what he is doing with his machines......

Need help identifying a CNC mill I bought
I bought this mill thinking it would be a good introduction to CNC. The guy I bought it from said he hasn't seen it run because it is 220V and he doesn't have 220V. The machine appears to be a RF-31 type - 2 HP motor, 4-1/2" round column, 5" quill travel and a 28-3/4" X 8-1/4" table. The mill is in very good condition, overall. He did not have a manual and there are no markings that would indicate the manufacturer. If I don't get the CNC working, I am happy with the price I paid for just the mill.
That being said, can anyone shed some light on what I bought and who the manufacturer is. I need a manual to help set up the software for the CNC.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

cw8060 – works in one direction, not the other direction
Recently, we experienced the y-axis moving correctly in one direction, but not the correct distance in the other direction. This difference was significant (about half the distance). We tracked the problem back to the CW8060 electronic driver unit. Simply replaced the driver unit and everything has work great since. A month later, experienced the same issue with the z-axis. Again, by process of elimination, we replaced the CW8060 and the problem immediately went away.
It seems very odd that we would have two problems with axis moving correctly in one direction and not the other direction -- and to track the problem to the cw8060 driver units. These drivers have been working great for a long time.
Has anyone experience this problem before with cw8060 drivers? Is there a reason why cw8060 drivers suddenly work in one direction, but not in the other direction?
Thanks for your help.

New GibbsCAM plugin for threading custom threads.
Hi,
I've been a cnc machinist since 2004 and been a user of GibbsCAM since 2005.
I've always been fascinated by threads, and have machined all kinds of wierd styles and sizes over the years.
I've seen solutions for machining the 'single point threading' way with plain tools in MasterCAM and EdgeCAM + RopeCAM is a standalone windows programs that does similar. But the all require you to draw or provide the thread numbers yourself.
Well, I was tired of looking up thread data, and finding numbers to draw the thread profile, so over the last 5 years I have developed a new plugin for GibbsCAM that enables you to easily program custom or large threads in GibbsCAM.
The plugin will use a plain lathe tool (groove insert usually) and segment the entire thread profile with several synchonized threading cuts (G32/G33)
This way, you can easily thread a large 1 or 2 TPI thread with a simple grooving tool, instead of using a full thread form insert that usually implies the risk of shatter.
Read more about the features here : ThreadTracer for GibbsCAM
There is a free to use verison of the plugin, that does ACME and STUBACME threads available for download.
The complete version will do buttress,trapezoidal, and the two standards of knuckle threads (DIN405 and DIN20400) and will be available for purchase.

Mitsubishi M700 - ATC
Hi, i'm quite new in this field of work.
I'm trying to setup an ATC with our CNC.
Right now i'm stuck trying to figure out how to create custom M function. I created a custom Marco witch do the tool change, but i need to link it to the M06 function for our machinist well being.
Could anyone point me how to do this ?
Thanks a lot.

Need Help! CNC conversion motors won't turn
I'm pretty new to the forums so I apologize if I'm not adhering to the proper rules of conduct, but I'm in need of some assistance in getting my CNC conversion working. A while ago I purchased a G0704 CNC conversion kit from Automation Technologies and I tried hooking up the x-axis motor for testing purposes. As far as I can tell I've wired everything up correctly as per Automation Technology's website directions and I've triple checked everything. I'm fairly certain that is not an issue with the wiring unless I'm a lot worse than I thought I was at this kind of stuff (which is entirely possible). The problem I have is that the motor locks up and won't turn in either direction when jogging the x-axis in Mach 3 (I have demo version at the moment). I know that the motor has power as I can hear a faint humming from inside and all other components also appear to have power, as indicated by their power LED lights. The images attached below show how everything is wired together as well as the NEMA 23 motor specifications for my x-axis. I really want to get the milling machine up and running before the next school semester starts back up for fear that I may not have enough time to work on it so I would very much appreciate any advice that anyone has to offer. I have also provided a written report of how I have wired everything together and it is as follows (I'm not particularly well educated in electronic vocabulary so if I refer to something incorrectly or insufficiently I apologize in advance and hope that you will correct me):
I'm checking my wiring yet again as I write this.
The large silver box is a 48V power supply (48V-PS)
- green wire is ground
- white wire is neutral
- black wire is live
The smaller perforated box is a 5V power supply (5V-PS)
- green wire comes from 48V-PS to 5V-PS ground
- white wire comes from 48V-PS to 5V-PS neutral
- black wire comes from 48V-PS to 5V-PS live
The orange wire from the 5V-PS goes to the GND slot of the C10 breakout board
The blue wire from the 5V-PS goes to the 5V and the EN slot of the C10 breakout board
The motor driver is a KL-5056E
- orange wire goes from PUL- on the driver to slot 2 on the breakout board
- 2nd orange wire goes from DIR- on the driver to slot 3 on the breakout board
- blue wire goes from PUL+ and DIR+ on the driver to COM slot on the breakout board located in between slots 2 and 3
The dip switch settings I currently have are as follows:
1 = off
2 = off
3 = off
4 = off
5 = off
6 = off
7 = on
8 = on
These switch settings should correspond 5.6A peak and 4.0A RMS and 1600 pulse/rev. Switch 4 being in the off position equal half current (I have tried jogging the motor with 4 = on)
The motor is a NEMA 23 (570oz)
I have wired the motor as per Automation Technology's website instructions
- black goes to A+
- green goes to A-
- red goes to B+
- blue goes to B-

Need Help! VFD automatically being set to 'Stop' when connected via parallel port
I had the spindle being controlled in mach3, but now as soon as windows boots, or even when turning the control box on on after it's booted up, a relay ticks on and the FVD changes from FWD to STOP.
I can set the speed when I press F5, but it doesn't turn on.
The only thing I think I changed is setting the parallel port from 'normal' to ECP in bios, but I've set it back to normal and EPP and it still doesn't work. Tried uninstalling the driver and rebooting, same deal.
Is it supposed to be on STOP by default? Is the dir pin supposed to change it from STOP to FWD or is it the port itself that's triggering it when it shouldn't?

Crypto Video Knowledge
Bitcoin die-hard fans claim that this is never going to be an issue since Bitcoin was the pioneer, in that case you are not aware so get Crypto Video Knowledge and as such enjoys first-mover privilege. This argument is probably flawed because although the BTC is used for payments, this is only a relatively small % of all Bitcoins. One of its primary uses is being a store of value and for this reason other crypto currencies can always step in and enjoy similar status if aggregate demand requires it.

Modelling a 2GT pulley in Inventor 2018
I would like to 3D print an 100 tooth pulley and have drawn it up in Inventor.
I've created a single tooth profile and have used the circular function to rotate it.
Sometimes when done I can extrude the sketch into a 3d part. Other times the sketch won't extrude.
Normally I would use the close loop function and walk my way around the line, but one tooth profile consists of 12 line segments and after using circular it's 1200 segments to walk over.
The sketch doctor seems to take forever to run and when it's done, it takes a long time to exit out of sketch mode.
I suspect this is because of the 1200 segments.
Is there a way to combine the 12 segments into 1 before using the circular function?
Are the other approaches I can take?
Thanks,
Arjay
